## Abstract In our previous study, we utilized a 26‐residue amphipathic α‐helical antimicrobial peptide L‐V13K (Chen et al., Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2007, 51, 1398–1406) as the framework to study the effects of peptide hydrophobicity on the mechanism of its antimicrobial action. In this study,

## Abstract We investigated the mechanism of candidacidal action of a Lys/Leu‐rich α‐helical model antimicrobial peptide (K~9~L~8~W) and its diastereomeric peptide (D~9~‐K~9~L~8~W) composed of D,L‐amino acids. K~9~L~8~W killed completely __Candida albicans__ within 30 min, but D~9~‐K~9~L~8~W killed
